Baltimore Ravens news, rumors and injuries

Free-agent RB Ray Rice was paid $1.588 by the Baltimore Ravens as part of a settlement from a wrongful termination grievance hearing, according to a league source. As a result of the settlement, the Ravens will have an extra $177,000 salary cap charge in 2015.

Baltimore Ravens CB Victor Hampton was arrested for impaired driving in Charlotte Saturday, Feb. 28, according to North Carolina Highway Patrol investigators. He is facing DWI, speeding, reckless driving and open container charges. Hampton was clocked traveling at 100 mph in a 55 mph zone and the trooper noticed two passengers attempting to hide firearms under the front passenger seat as he approached the vehicle. Hampton's blood-alcohol level was recorded at .10, which is above North Carolina's legal limit of .08. He was arrested and booked into the Mecklenburg County jail and later posted bond.

Fantasy Tip: Jones caught only nine passes for 131 yards this season and probably will not have a big role in the passing game for his next team. Owners should not consider selecting Jones in drafts next season, because he does not have much value.

Oklahoma WR Dorial Green-Beckham is unlikely to be considered by the Baltimore Ravens in this year's draft, because the team is taking a stance of not acquiring players with a history of domestic violence after the incident with free-agent RB Ray Rice (Ravens) last year.

Fantasy Tip: Daniels rebounded from a down 2013 season where he was hurt, and he caught four touchdown passes and had 527 yards. He remains a decent fantasy play because of his on-field rapport with QB Joe Flacco.

The Baltimore Ravens are working to restructure the contract of CB Lardarius Webb, who has a $12 million salary cap figure and $8 million base salary for 2015. Cutting Webb would create $10 million in dead money and save just $2 million.

The Baltimore Ravens are trying to restructure the contract of DT Haloti Ngata, as he heads into the final year of a five-year, $61 million deal. He carries a team-high $16 million salary cap figure and $8.5 million base salary.

Fantasy Tip: Forsett's current fantasy football value is very murky, at best, after a career year in 2014 with Baltimore. There's very little chance that he will repeat that performance in 2015, even if he stays with the Ravens. If he lands in a nice situation in free agency, he'd be an RB 2, at best, in PPR leagues.

Fantasy Tip: If Smith stays with the Ravens, he'll continue to be a weak WR1 and a top-tier WR2 for fantasy purposes with Joe Flacco slinging him the rock deep down the field. Stay tuned to see where Smith lands if he leaves Baltimore. He can be risky to rely on in fantasy football because of his all-or-nothing profile. Smith is much safer in non-PPR leagues.
